Kera har' umubibyi

Kera har’ umubibyi

Wasohoy’ imbuto;

Zimwe zigwa. ku nzira,

Zimarwa n’ inyoni,

izindi ku rutare,

Zumishwa n’ izuba,

Kuko zari zibuze

Ahantu horoshye

Mu mahwa hagw’ izindi,

Zikurana na yo;

Nukw aziniga zose,

Ntizera na gato

Izindi mbuto zigwa

Mu butaka bgiza;

Zimeze, zirakura,

Zer’ imbuto nyinshi

Har’ umubibyi wundi,

Ni Yesu Krisito

Ijambo ry’ agakiza

Ni ryo mbut’ abiba,

Kand’ imitima yacu

Ni na yo mbibe ye,

Ari mib’ ari myiza,

Amishamw imbuto

Ku mutwe n’ ibiganza

No ku birenge bye,

Hatonyang’ amaraso

Akibib’ imbuto;

Imvura ni y’ imeza

Imbuto z’ iyi si:

Amaras’ akameza

Izo mu mitima

Mugenzi, har’ ibiki

Mu rnutima wawe ?

N’ inzira nyinshi, mbese ?

Cyangwa n’ urutare ?

Cyangwa n’ imbibe inziza ?

Mbe harafumbiwe ?

Weramw imbuto nziza,

Cyangw’ umez’ amahwa ?

Umwami Yes’ azaza

Gusarur’ imbuto;

Azaz’ afit’ intara,

Maz’ azigosore;

Ingano nziza zose

Azazihunika,

Maz umuram’ awute

Nawo mu muriro

Uzajya hehe wowe ?

Nturabimenya se ?

Uzajya mu kigega,

Cyangwa mu muriro ?

Urorere gutinda:

Wihane nonaha !

Uyu n umunsi mwiza
